hurricane irene was 1.2 million, impacted house hodes. this is 2.4 million impacted households. 1.2million of the 2.4 million from pfeag, 935,000 from jcp and l. 195,000 from atlantic city electric, and 45,000 from orange and rockland. during hurricane irene restoration took eight days for full restoration. for hurricane sandy the full restoration may in fact take longer. full damage assessment will not be complete until 24 to 48 hours due to some of the weather delays. they cannot develop the timeframe for restoration until damage assessments are underway and obviously these difficult weather conditions are making this more of a challenge. however, the utility companies have continued to reach out to other states for assistance, and we are expecting additional linemen, servicemen and tree-clearing workers from states as far away as texas and indiana and even folks coming from to us from canada. it will remain extremely dangerous in areas where trees and wires are down, i ask people to use extreme caution, assume that any wire you see dow
